Business news : Chaco Footwear Partners with Backbone Media for Public Relations

November 21, 2013 (Rockford, Mich.) – Outdoor footwear
brand Chaco has appointed Backbone Media to handle its public
relations. Chaco has chosen, Backbone for its deep outdoor industry
roots – the company is headquartered in Colorado and currently
represents more than 50 brands in the outdoor and lifestyle marketplace.

“Next year is Chaco’s 25th anniversary and we’ve got a lot to
celebrate,” said Colin Butts, marketing manager at Chaco. “We’re excited
to team up with an agency that has the experience and enthusiasm to
help us continue our company’s growth while remaining true to our brand
heritage and ‘Chaconians’ – our loyal customers.”

Chaco has an impressive history of building premium footwear for the
outdoor-minded. What started as performance sandals made for river
guides has evolved into multiple styles of sandals,
shoes, and boots. All Chaco footwear features the LUVSEAT™, a uniquely
contoured footbed platform that comfortably aligns and supports your
entire foot and body. Additionally, the brand recently launched
MyChacos, a one-of-a-kind "Made in the USA" custom sandal program that reinforces the brand’s ability to stand apart from the crowd in the outdoor space.

According to Backbone’s director of public relations, Ian Anderson,
“Chaco has all the elements of a great PR partner for us –an authentic
brand story paired with innovative, premium products. Many of us at
Backbone have spent time living and working on the river, and our
passion for the brand runs deep.”

About Chaco:
